Firefly Luciferase Lentivirus (UbC Promoter)

Products from BPS Bioscience require a minimum order value above 400€

Applications: 1. Ideal as a positive control for transduction; useful for transduction optimization.
2. Generation of stable cell line expressing firefly luciferase with puromycin selection.

Description: The Firefly Luciferase Lentivirus are replication incompetent, HIV-based, VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles that are ready to be transduced into almost all types mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. The particles contain a firefly luciferase gene driven by a UbC (ubiquitin C) promoter. The ubiquitin C promoter is useful for high-level expression across a broad range of species and tissue types.

Formulation: The lentiviruses were produced from HEK293T cells. Supplied in medium containing 90% DMEM + 10% FBS (JIMT-1 Medium).

Storage Stability: Lentiviruses are shipped with dry ice. For long term storage, it is recommended to store the virus at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Titers can drop significantly with each freeze-thaw cycle.

Supplied As: Two vials (500 µl x 2) of firefly luciferase lentivirus at a titer ≥5 x 10^6 TU/ml. The titer will vary with each lot; the exact value is provided with each shipment.

Warnings: Biosafety: None of the HIV genes (gag, pol, rev) will be expressed in the transduced cells, as they are expressed from packaging plasmids lacking the packing signal. Although the pseudotyped lentiviruses are replication-incompetent, they require the use of a Biosafety Level 2 facility. BPS recommends following all local federal, state, and institutional regulations and using all appropriate safety precautions.

Biosafety Level: BSL-2
